Psychedelic stuff man.

Despite how simple it is, its actually hard to stop playing.

niallm 2013-04-29 10:03

This is really effective. Love the visuals. It's a really compelling mechanic.

The game is fun and it's more difficult with my macbook touch pad.

Neat concept and looks quite nice. Sadly I am red/green colourblind...and cannot play this game with any level of skill.

What a trip! O.O Good work on this!

donan 2013-04-29 20:16

Reall physchedelic the camera xD. Its nice, but it needs some kind of effect when you click on the red spheres and some fx.

Great game!

multitude 2013-04-29 21:26

liikeaturtle 2013-04-29 21:30

Very very cool

orangepascal 2013-04-29 21:30

almost claustrophobic ! love the looks of this one; simple gameplay, but fun

psychomonster 2013-04-29 23:35

hypnotizing :D

Great sound, simple compelling play.

Simple but beauty. How to score is not realy obvious, but it add a little depth to it. I like the graphics.

Lags as hell for me: ~2 FPS (Linux Mint 12 32bit, 4GB Ram, 2x2 Ghz, Intel graphics chip)

This I like. Seeing a lot of use of primitive shapes in unity being called minimalism but not achieving much. This however, just uses primitives and lighting to really create a cool environment.

My one and only suggestion would be to give all the spheres a pulsing animation, either translation, scale, or maybe both. Make the whole environment more dynamic.

Anyway, great use of theme, great mood created, well done.

It is a thing of beauty! The gameplay is a bit simple for my tastes but the crazy amount of polish more than makes up for it.

dotteri 2013-05-02 17:21

Simple and addictive. Are we inside a giant molecule?

mrexcessive 2013-05-03 05:54

Great alien feel, quite creepy, love the music, game needs a bit more interest but I guess that would break the minimalism feel - maybe do something more with it now compo finished ? Would make a groovy screensaver for a wall sized whiteboard !

hume 2013-05-03 15:12

Lots of polish, minimal gameplay. Unfortunately that combination is completely counter to my own priorities, but very very well executed.

lorancou 2013-05-03 15:18

Nice way of playing with the FOV! I find it a bit harsh that the score resets on the first misclick (max 35 for me... getting old). But still, nice atmosphere and nice game!

lotusgame 2013-05-03 15:28

Superb entry, it's beautiful and it fits very well the theme. Too bad there is no progression in the gameplay through time. The atmosphere is incredible. Bravo :)

This was the best use of Unity I've seen so far in the competition. I have to say it would be a blessing if there was a clear indication of why you lose all your score (I've gotten up to 53 and then back to 0) as I read the instructions and did not seen anything in the HUD that shows how much time I have left between clicks and did not get a visual or acoustic cue that I lost my score because I clicked the wrong thing. Hope this helps (I did not detract points for this issue).

Never though I'd play an intestine simulation game on day.

fabricio-brito 2013-05-05 11:00

Really simple and well executed idea. It's intuitive but I would enjoy more audio and/or visual feedback when the chain is broken or when a new highscore is achieved...
the lights were well set, as sometimes it can make some misdirection about where's the red orb. Well done!

netmute 2013-05-06 12:06

Once I figured out how to get points it was pretty fun. Music was great, and graphics... come one, you already KNOW that the style is awesome! ;)

pinkerator 2013-05-06 12:18

Wow very addictive game! Don't like that there is too little time to catch second red orb when you started combo, but anyway it's cool work :)

juaxix 2013-05-06 12:22

Trippy

someone 2013-05-06 14:40

The lights often made it impossible to see the colours properly.
Some feedback on hit/miss would have been useful.
Neat little game though.
